KitGuru says: Once you look past the peculiar styling you'll find an impressive piece of hardware

High 802.11ac transfer speeds; Simultaneous 5GHz+2.4GHz; Easy set-up; USB 3.0 port for add-in storage; USB 2.0 printer support; Impressive QoS options for consumer market; Decent set-up software with heaps of options; Weird and wonderful styling (if you like that sort of thing)

Expensive; Poor 2.4GHz 802.11n performance; mainly because of the tiny A6100 USB adapter; Takes a while to save changes in set-up; Limited appeal for professional market; Weird and wonderful styling (if you have conventional tastes)

Definitely looks the part, smooth, slick, stealth like appearance. The UI is clear, concise and exactly what you want it to be. Handy apps for your tablet and phone give complete control. The 5Ghz wireless network gives superb speeds, definite improvement for my Shield Tablet in console mode.

Upgraded from an old 54G standard. Very easy setup right out of the box. Signal strength is great; speeds are consistently great. My second R7000; this is one dedicated to running a new SMART TV and other peripherals. The first one is dedicated to me home office.

The Netgear AC1900 Nighthawk wireless router is definitely not cheap, and it also has a lot to live up to, with Netgear claiming that it features the most powerful transmitter around and delivers the fastest Wi-Fi.

It worked with me for 3 months on ADSL. It's speed was great. I had my internet upgraded to Fibre 2 days ago. The Router is simply not responding. I phoned for help. It was unfortunate that the Phone Support just expired. 1.

Netgear's R7000 Nighthawk is one of the fastest, if not the fastest routers you can buy today. In addition to leading the field when it comes to throughput, the router offers stellar range and a host of features that differentiate it against other AC1900 routers, like the Asus RT-AC68U and Linksys...

The Netgear R7000 Nighthawk is a router that squeezes as much as possible onto the specification list. With a reasonably high price of ￡165 (US$184, AU$255), it's a high-end model, and it comes with a 1GHz dual-core processor.

Outlandish design, but rip-roaring performance leads to a well-deserved A-List award for Netgear's flagship router

In all, despite the clunky web user interface, the Netgear Nighthawk R7000 AC1900 is a triumph. It may not deliver the fastest top speed over 802.11ac, but its class-leading range across all network types more than makes up for this slight lack of top-end grunt.
